History
Fencing originated as the practice of swordsmanship to prepare men for duels and warfare. A fencing match is depicted on an Egyptian temple that dates to about 1190 B.C. and the ancient Babylonians, Greeks, Persians, and Romans all had some form of fencing. The use of armor during the Middle Ages made swordsmanship virtually obsolete. The broadsword was used against armor, but only as a crude hacking device requiring sheer strength rather than skill. By making armor obsolete, the development of firearms ironically brought swordplay back into prominence during the 15th century. Soldiers once again had to acquire some skill with the sword, and fencing also emerged as a pastime for gentlemen. Fencing masters organized guilds, which taught various moves to initiates while protecting them as trade secrets from outsiders. The swords of that period were rather heavy, and cutting the opponent with the edge was emphasized. Further, since the sword was frequently a weapon of defense against thieves, tactics included wrestling holds and tricks designed to disarm or immobilize the opponent to set him up for the killing blow. Fencing as an exercise based on speed and skill began when the longer, lighter rapier was developed in Italy during the 16th century. Because of the rapier's length, opponents had to fight at a distance and quick but controlled lunges, attacking the enemy with the point of the sword, replaced cruder hacking techniques. But the rapier wasn't a good defensive weapon, so the fencer often had to use his gauntleted left hand to parry his opponent's thrusts.

Introduction to Fencing
When most Americans think of swordplay, the images that come to mind are either of the lumbering power of armor-clad knights battling with broadswords, or of the swashbuckling flair of Errol Flynn and other screen duelers of the '30s and '40s. In what it requires and how it is conducted, Olympic fencing resembles these two clichés about as much as the Olympic Opening Ceremonies resemble the ritual sacrifice of animals that once signalled the start of competition. The modern Olympic fencer trains for years, honing agility, quickness, and subtlety of movement. The sport has been described as "chess with muscles," suggesting that complicated strategy lies behind the thrusts and parries that punctuate a duel. Fencers of today employ a strange combination of archaic and modern customs; combatants still salute before a match and wear the traditional white uniforms and masks, but scoring is now determined by electronic padding worn by the combatants that registers when a hit takes place with flashing, color-coded lights. As suggested by the continuing power of the myths of swordfighting knights and adventurers, the fencing tradition is rich and storied. Like fellow Olympic sports archery and javelin, fencing has its roots in ancient combat. Around 1200 BC, the Egyptians began the custom of fencing for sport, as seen by images in decorative reliefs from that period depicting knobs on the end of weapons, earflaps and other protective garb. Sword craftsmanship evolved through the ages, from the short, wide swords favored by the Greeks and Romans to the heavy two-handed broadswords in vogue during the age of chivalry. After the advent of gunpowder and firearms, armor became obsolete and lighter swords gained popularity as the sidearm of choice for European officers and gentlemen.

Olympic History: Fencing
The sport of swashbucklers had its inception around 1190 B.C. in ancient Egypt, where the earliest carvings of a fencing match are drawn. Fencing didn't make its way into the United States until the mid-1700s, when a fencing teacher opened his own storefront in what were then the American colonies. The New York Athletic Club also helped to popularize the sport in the United States. After its establishment in 1859, the organization became deeply involved in fencing by the 1880s. Three years later, the Fencers Club is opened in New York and is dedicated exclusively to fencing. A similar club was established in New Orleans, but the date of its founding is not known.

    Olympic History: Swimming
    There is no exact date for when swimming was invented, but there is evidence dating the sport back for centuries. Mosaics and drawings from Middle Eastern civilizations and Pompeii show man swimming in a dog stroke. Greeks held swimming in a high regard as well, so much so that men of the ancient times often considered others less worthy if they could not run or swim. A man was considered uneducated by Plato if he could not swim. But it was an 1844 race in London, England that displayed swimming close to what we know today. Thanks to England's Swimming Society, several American Indians were brought over for the race and dominated the competition using windmill strokes resembling today's freestyle. Despite the Indians' advanced style, the English still relied on the breaststroke - the stroke mainly used by Captain Matthew Webb when he became the first to swim across the English Channel in 1875.

    Take the romantic, swashbuckling epics of Errol Flynn, add some rules, protective clothing and an electronic scoring system, and you have fencing at the Olympic Games. Two rivals stand opposite each other and feint, lunge, parry and riposte until one scores the required number of hits to win.
    Evolved from the ancient form of combat, fencing is one of only four sports that has featured at every modern Olympic Games. It was the first to include recognised professionals in medals competition after modern Olympic Games founder Pierre de Coubertin arranged special events for professional fencing "masters" in the original 1896 and 1900 competitions. The clothing has become so protective, though, that officials modified masks a few years ago to return a "human face" to the event. Fine, but for intense reality, the 1924 team foil competition still wins: After the Olympic Games, an Italian and a Hungarian settled a scoring controversy with a real duel. The competition
    Each competition has a single-elimination format. Teams consist of three fencers, and each duels each member of the opposing team.

    an essay, by
    Michael Simos

    6th grade, Montgomery Elementary, Atlanta (September 1995)
    Foreword Why are the Olympic Games so important? Why will people from all around the world come in the summer of 1996 to Atlanta to either watch or compete in them? Why is it that billions of people around the world will sit in front of their television sets to watch these games? To answer these questions we need to go back in history to find the meaning of the Olympic Games. 1. The Ancient Games. In ancient Greece, sports and competition were very important. The Greeks believed that physical exercise and mental training were connected to each other. The Greek word for education meant the development of the entire human being and could not be divided into physical and mental education, because the mind cannot exist without the body, and the body has no meaning without the mind. Their rule of thumb was, "Educate children with gymnastics and music." Religion encouraged this kind of education, and great athletic and musical contests were held in holy places, under the protection of the gods, and in front of thousands of spectators from all over Greece. The contests were called Games, and the most famous were held at the Sanctuary of Olympia in southwestern Greece. The Olympian or Olympic Games started in 776 BC, and were held every four years in honor of Zeus, the king of the mythical Greek gods. They were at their peak in the 5th and 4th centuries BC, but they were suppressed in 394 AD by the Roman emperor Theodosius I.

    OLYMPIC HISTORY France dominated fencing from the outset of the sport at the first Games in 1896, with Italy taking charge in the 1930s before Hungary made itself the nation to beat for half a century. Indeed, the Hungarians won all seven titles in the sabre team event between 1928 and 1960. Aladar Gerevich was a member of the team in all but one of those victories and his success at the age of 50 in Rome, in 1960, brought him a record which still stands: he is the Olympian with the most consecutive victories. One of the most famous early fencer was Nedo Nadi, from Italy. As an 18-year-old he won his first title in the foil in Stockholm, in 1912, when he also finished fifth in the sabre. War intervened but Nadi emerged from it a stronger fencer; at Antwerp in 1920, he won five of the six available gold medals, three of those with his team-mates. His victory in the sabre left his brother Aldo nursing the silver medal.

    History
    Fencing is one of only four sports that have been in every Olympics since 1896. The men's foil and men's sabre were on the program that year. They are among just 15 events that have been on every modern Olympic program. (Twelve of the others are track and field events. The fifteenth is the men's 1500-meter freestyle swim.) There was also a masters foil competition in 1896, for fencing instructors, who were considered professionals. The epee was added in 1900, along with masters competition in both epee and sabre. Masters events were discontinued after 1906. Since then, team championships have been added for all three weapons. The first women's event was the foil, added in 1924. The women's epee became an Olympic event in 1996. Through 1980, fencers took part in round robin competition and results were based on the won-lost records. In 1984, a single-elimination tournament replaced the round robin. Top of page History Biography Glossaries Calendar Quotations ... Directory
